From a small .17 ha parcel, Pousse dOrs Bonnes Mares is planted on the clay soils known as terres rouges on the Chambolle Musigny side of this 15.06 ha Grand Cru. This is classic Bonnes Mares, and Pousse dOrs version is typically muscular and concentrated but with the ripe, velvety tannins.

DOMAINE DE LA POUSSE D'OR Les Caillerets Clos des 60 Ouvrees 1er cru Monopole, Volnay

Just after Patrick Landanger purchased Pousse dOr in 1997 he sold the Santenay Les Gravières but acquired a massive 3 hectares of Corton, Clos du Roi. Half of this is leased out to Louis Latour who exploited all 3 hectares previously. Aged in French oak barrel (30% new) for 18 months with minimal sulphur addition and bottles, unfined and unfiltered, this is modern corton; relatively approachable in its youth but can be cellared long term too.

Les Amoureuses, located just below and north of Les Musigny is 5.4 h and is, unquestionably, one of the greatest red premier cru vineyards in Burgundy. Pousse dOrs 0.1965ha plot is in the upper part of Les Amoureuses where the Comblanchien limestone is very similar to Musigny but with slightly less top soil producing a wine with a little more delicacy but still incredible minerality and structure.
